ENERGY MANAGEMENT & EFFICIENTCY
Energy management measures should not be viewed as an expense, but as an investment with utility savings that add up over the service life of the building. By doing so, the Authority managed to achieve a significant savings in electricity bills throughout the year in comparison with the conventional buildings in Malaysia. Furthermore, the savings will only increase over time as energy prices rise in Malaysia. The yearly continuous decreasing pattern of electricity bill is tabulated as below:
The Authority as the one of agencies who is responsible in providing technical facilitation as well as promoting the sustainable energy in Malaysia has initiated the energy management in the Authority’s Headquarter located in Putrajaya. The initiative was started in 2015 by in-house expertise of the Authority.
Various Energy Management initiatives had helped the Authority in achieving the Building Energy Index (BEI) of 51 kWh/m2/year (Zero Energy Building ZEB Ready), compared to 220 to 300 kWh/m2/year for a typical office building in Malaysia and electricity bill ≈ RM2,000/mth. This translated to savings of almost 74,143.45 kWh per year (at least RM38,000 per annum) and avoided 50 tons per year of carbon emissions.
Initiatives taken by the Authority are:

No cost measures:
No cost measures:
The formation of Energy Management (EM) committee that is a part of the Authority’s Jawatankuasa Keselamatan, Kesihatan Pekerjaan dan Pengurusan Tenaga (JKPPT), subsequently led to the formation of Energy Policy in the Authority;
Continuous energy management awareness programme to the Authority’s staff include in-house talk on energy management, frequent dissemination information on energy saving in office and initiative as simple as EE savings tips label;
Lighting switches mapping for all office areas in the Authority;
Schedule in-house energy audit in the Authority by its staff;
Energy Management awareness signs and labels for office appliances and behaviour;
Temperature setting of air-conditioning to 24 degree Celsius; and
Energy management practices such as switching off the lighting and office equipment during lunch hour.
Low Cost Measures:
Low Cost Measures:
Delamping, Rezoning and LED lights replacement and installation of pull cord light by stages;
Installation of online power monitoring system to understand the pattern and the real time data on energy consumption;
Gradually replacement of the split unit air conditioning at the server room, to energy efficient VRV units;
The replacement of faulty air conditioning from conventional to inverter system air condition (AC); and
Installation of motion sensors in areas of lesser use (printing room and walkway).
Medium and High Cost Measures:
Medium and High Cost Measures:
Installation of air-conditioning split unit for low functional area (dining room, meeting room and auditorium);
Procurement of energy efficient office equipment (laptop, printer and pantry appliances); and
Installation of solar PV system of 16 kWp at the roof top of the Authority’s office.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Solar PV System @ the Authority, 16 kWp
Solar PV System @ the Authority, 16 kWp
Since the Authority’s establishment in 2011, the Authority has granted approvals to more than 10,000 renewable energy installations in Malaysia. It is timely for the Authority to lead by example by installing solar PV system at the headquarter of the Authority located in Putrajaya. In 2019, the Authority installed a 16kW solar PV system on the rooftop of Galeria PjH . This PV system will also link to the PVMS managed by the Authority. Importantly, this PV project will be part of the Authority’s on-site training facility providing online data for analysis and opportunity to showcase PV for office application to visitors and training participants.
The PV project for the Authority started on 1st October 2019 and successfully commissioned on 31st December 2019. The total installed capacity is 16kWp and the energy generated is connected to the Authority’s Main Distribution Board. The solar PV system is installed based on the Self-Consumption (SELCO) as the bulk meter of the building will not support NEM configuration. In future, this restriction should be addressed so buildings with bulk meter can participate in the NEM scheme.
It is estimated that the 16kWp solar PV system could generate about 19,200kWh/year with about 13,324.8kg of CO2 avoidance per year. Below is the technical and design specification for the Authority’s 16kW solar PV system:

Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER)
In 2021, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC) set a target to reach 31% of RE share in the national installed capacity mix by 2025. This target supports Malaysia’s global climate commitment is to reduce its economy-wide carbon intensity (against GDP) of 45% in 2030 compared to 2005 level. Realization of the Government’s vision is crucial in supporting the nation to achieve its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets.
The Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) is commissioned to support further decarbonization of the electricity sector in Malaysia through the 2035 milestone. This is expected to drive a reduction in GHG emission in the power sector to support Malaysia in meeting its NDC 2030 target of 45% reduction in GHG emission intensity per unit of GDP in 2030 compared to the 2005 level, and further reduction of 60% in 2035.
The scope of MyRER includes three workstreams; assessing the baseline installed capacity and RE resources potential, developing technology-specific RE targets and scenarios, and developing a strategic roadmap.
The MyRER considers two distinct scenarios for RE development in the nation towards the 2025 Government committed RE target and through to the 2035 milestone:
Business as Usual (BAU) scenario considers the implementation of existing policies and programmes without further extension and/ or introduction of new programmes; and
New Capacity Target (NCT) scenario aims for higher RE capacity target to align with further decarbonization of electricity sector in Malaysia toward 2035 milestone. This scenario is aligned with the capacity development plan of Planning and Implementation Committee for Electricity Supply and Tariff (JPPPET 2020) for Peninsular Malaysia, JPPPET 2021 inputs for Sabah and current outlook for Sarawak.

The MyRER has been formulated to support Malaysia’s vision to achieve 31% RE share in the national installed capacity mix by 2025. Furthermore, the MyRER designs a pathway to enhance decarbonization of the electricity sector through 2035. The MyRER strategic framework builds upon 4 technology-specific pillars supported by 4 cross-technology enabling initiatives
